Social Justice Activism

world countries do not have the same strict industry regulations as the more developed
countries. The countries that the waste is taken to are usually impoverished and the
governments have little or no control over the happenings in the country or do not care

Transnational Movement Networks
Many of the Environmental Justice Networks that began in the United States expanded
their horizons to include many other countries and became Transnational Networks for
Environmental Justice. These networks work to bring Environmental Justice to all parts
of the world and protect all citizens of the world to reduce the environmental injustice
happening all over the world. Listed below are some of the major Transnational Social
Movement Organizations.
Basel Action Network – works to end toxic waste dumping in poor undeveloped
countries from the rich developed countries.
GAIA (Global Anti-Incinerator Alliance) – works to find different ways to dispose
of waste other than incineration. This company has people working in over 77
countries throughout the world.
